WWII: Mediterranean and N. Africa 1939-45 – Monty

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This WWII: Mediterranean and N. Africa 1939-45 – Monty interactive also includes:

Is Field Marshal Montgomery the right man to command the land forces in France for D-Day? That's the question facing young historians as they explore an interactive resource that focuses on the Mediterranean and North Africa theatre from 1940-1945. They read extracts from Montgomery's reports, examine photographs, watch a video, and complete worksheets before writing a report that answers the question of whether Montgomery should be put in command of the forces.
